40 pounds of Cottonwood next to 40 pounds of Beech!

I’ve been hauling in Cottonwood this shoulder season and didn’t realize how light that stuff was until it got cold and I needed some “real” wood. The Pictures show My son TJ standing on a scale holding 40 lbs of Beech and then 40 lbs of Cottonwood. The poor kid has to put up with a lot from me.

They were all 16” splits and everything was seasoned 3 full years.

It’s amazing how well that Cottonwood has heated my house with the Progress. One load per day is all I have needed so far, temps averaging mid 30’s. Now get those splits in the house TJ!

The room with the Progress is 22' X 22' w/ a Cathedral ceiling and that room is completely open with the kitchen and flows well with the rest of the house. We got lucky with the floor plan of this house for burning wood.

Thanks... I'm just trying to ensure I'm not going to roast myself out of my room with a PH! My room is 25 x 40, with cathedral ceilings, a small loft on either side of the cathedral ceiling, and alot of windows.

I'm sadly down to my last 1/2 face cord of Cottonwood, but I'm not sure I'd want to pay for it again in a Grapple load. They delivered a 4' diameter monster that yielded 2+ cord. It strained the splitter more than any other wood and boy was it stringy.

It makes a ton of fluffy ash, and leaves very few coals to start another fire.

I'm just wondering if "TJ" is Tony Jr. We called our son "TJ" while still in womb rather than "kid".
